DSXchange

We were just notified by our infrastructure group that they need to migrate DataStage from using RSH authentication to SSH authentication. We are using DataStage PX 7.5.1 on AIX 5.3 64-bit.

Has anyone had any problems with this in the past? They are doing our dev server in the next week and I want to make sure we are prepared.

Any info or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Brad.

Brad,
You need to pay attention to the PrivateKey and PublicKey Gen process.. Ensure the the Server Names on both machines FULLY match the fast names you use in your APT_CONFIG_FILE. FULLY means short host name matches short host name, long name goes to long name...Good luck!

We switched early last year with no problems once the keys were set up for the dsadm account on all of the servers. We're using dsa keys. Just make sure that you can do ssh commands between the servers when you're logged in as dsadm and you'll have no problems with the switch.
